An Irish girl was dispatched to a neigh bor's with a note, and directed to give it per sonally to the person addressed. On arrival, Kiddy found that the neighbor had gone to Northampton, whither she wended her way, twelve miles, on foot, and traversed the streets till she found the individual and delivered the note. She then started to return, stopping over night on the way with some friends, and reach ing home next day, when she told her mistress that she must give up her place, for she could not go any more such long errands. GpiNO to Meet a I.oveu and Fotoo lliu a Corpse.?A young lady, a Miss T., from bock port, (N. Y.) passed through Milnaukie one day last week, on her way to St. Paul, to meet her betrothed and fulllil her engagement to be mar ried. Between Hastings and St. l'aul, the La Crosse UrpubHcnn says, *ho met the downw ard stage, which had the corpse of her intended husband. This she did not learn until shear rived at St. Paul, where she hired a livcrv and started back to ovcrlako the Btnge. She over hauled the stage at Wabasbaw, and took chargo of the remains of her lover. She passed through that city last Thursday night on her way home. She was a brave girl, and lore her crushing sorrow by having a faithful hope in the futuie. The Republican says the liver}1 man of St. Paul only charged her $.50 for taking her to Waba shaw. ^ 1'reutlcc in u E'tx. n? U CALLED UPON To DECIDE W1IO IS TnE HAND- j SoUEST WOMAN IN LOUISVILLE. [From the LouUvlla Journal.] We have never sympathised so deeply with the unha py son of Hecuba, when chosen um pire between the rival goddesses, as we did yesterday, when called upon to gaze at several beautiful female visitors in the discharge of our bighl}' responsible office conferred on us by the Louisville postmaster, of deciding as to Ibe pro per destination of tho letter addressed "to the handsomest woman in Kentucky. True, we had this advantage over Paris, our judgment was not prejudiced by alluring promises of kingdoms, military glory, or the possession of the fail est woman in the world, and our decision therefore cannot draw upon us the resentment of the unsuccessful, for it will be perfectly im partial. What a bouquet of beauty I The stately dahlia anil the budding rose, the soft-eyed vio let and the drooping lily?bow can we describe in prose the exquisite prrfuine, the delicious tints, the pearly texture, and the delicate rich ness! As "our "Walter" opens the door for our first visitor, what swan like grace presents itself in that Juno form?how a diadem would become that head, and a gulden sccptre that hand! What intellect on that high forehead, and how all its veins "thrill with the genuine Iiulse of thought!" Ah, Paris, beware, remem ber the myth of Mount Ida. A brisk knock at the portal?a merry laugh ringing out liko music hells, and "Minnie" stands before us? the vision of the coining spring. What tender, loving, mischievous eyes ?what a fairy figure?ho.v the dimples nestle on her blooming cheek, and smiles light up the radiance of that perfect countenance. Her hud ding mouth exhales zephyrs which fan the ring lets of lier hair and lilt thorn in lialos of intoxi cating perfumo around her alabaster brow. Oh Minnie, what are the ideals of tho painter or the sculptor compared will the real loveliness of that voting form, that exquisite?beware, broth er of'Cassandra, remember tho fatal prophecy of your sister, and again beware! A timid step is next heard in tho passage, and a hesitating, almost supplicating appeal for en trance. What a light nnd airy footfall, feathery as a snowflake, gentle as the fairy roundelay of Titania by moonlight, glides into the room.? Beneath a veil, we can detect a skin of pearly texture, and ns she spcakn, you almost dream or angels sighing, so full of sad but harmonious music is her voice. Poor child, bo seated! ? Heiress of intellect and of poverty?poor lily of life?God pity thee and shield thee from its rude blasts. She has missed a letter from one far away, who ought to have written, but wo know that in a large and gay Eastern citv, the modest daisy which blooms at home and droops in his absence is forgotten in the gay level of . wealth and luxury; tremblingly she hopes that he has, with a lover's devotion, directed a letter to h-r in the words bo has often used in hours of will le nemheio 1 dalliance. Nut for? the world's wealth would we assume tho ta.-k to undeceive hor; not for oinpircs would we stain that pallid, snowy cheek with the dark gush that must burst from her heart when the truth :s known. Sweet one, that gentle smile which waims your lip will turn alas to agony. Wo p'tlV you, and f.iin would sympathise?again be ivare, sou of tho Trqjan Priam, and remember. ?ris but ? lclndr<d found to more, Forrltj?iu?rlt? the mind to love. Rap! rap! rap! "Any body at home? I am, always am; how aro you, sir ? I came for my letter. If Bob doesn't stop playing these tricks upon tne, heil find fie is making game of the wrong person. Ha! ha! ha! but f forgivo him on account of tho compliment, though I know its the truth, for Bob has often told mo so, and he is too proud to tell a falsehood, even to please such a giddy little butteifly as I am. llo calls ma a butterfly. Bob does, but I lauih when he says it, for I know all the time that he s the moth and has flown around and around this Jittle "light of his life" until ho singed his wings. Ha! ha! ha! Sister Kate bet ino a new brooch that the letter wasn't for nie, and I'll win.? Just as if my Bob didn't know how to direct a letter properly. W here is he ? ^ hat s the postmark? But I'll pay him off for bis trick!" We do not know whether the pretty little bru nette speaker was tired alter rattling the nbovo offlikea volley <>f alternate laughs and smiles, but we were fatigued ill listening to licr, that is the tympanum of our ear was strained, hut she was like a ray of sunshine dancing through an openin" in a window; you could seo the mo tea dancing in her eyes, and there was perpetual motion about her. Bob is a lucky dog. and we envy him. Take care again, Paris, von may Cet your head broken, and have no Helen awar ded "as a plaster of Paris to the bruise. ? I> S and N. B. The letter, in a fresli envel ope, will be sent to its proper destination by Vhis morning's post. Alt American Kditok and an English Prince. | ?The E'litnr of the Utica Herald, who is trav eling in Africa, recently visited the ruins of Car thage, and in a letter to his paper, dated Tunis, | January t?, relates the following: "While 1 nfts examining these vast relics of the past, my meditations were disturbed by the arrival ol young prince Alfred of England, and a lot of rollicking lieutenants and midshipmen, whose fchip was lying at anbhor in the Buy of Tunis. Travel is a great leveller, and I sublime ly condescended to treat this beardless ?pri;j; of royalty with just us much respect as if he h idn't been a mere second son of a Quran, or I an hon orary member of the J jhn Brown's Tract Fish ing Association. As I happened to know a j;o ?>i deal more about the ruins of Carthage than either his Royal Highness or any of his compan ions, I played the part of cicerone for the party. As I may not have occasion to refer to him or his again, 1 may .^late that Prince Alfred is quite a pretty boy, small and frail for his age, which is fifteen, and apparently modest and intelligent lie had lots of questions to ask about America, and said he would like hugely to visit it.? Whereupon I appointed myself a committee of one on *Ueception of Distinguished Strangers.' and pledged him a salute of thirty guns from the gallant 'Forty-fifth," besides an entailment in tlie ranks of the Walton Fishing Club, should he visit us. I am told by one of his brother officers that lie is really popular among his shipmates, and is not particuiaily disposed to take advant age of his station. The other day he called one of the mates ran old fool,' for which piec^ of im pudence he got a box on the ear that scut him reeling and blubiieiing to his cabin. He com plained to his mrrant, (who is a major of high I standing in the army,) but no notice was taken | of the matter.'' , V SNOW WHITE. V* \ 'w \ ^ J. A.
